2. 1368
3. 1400
4. 1638
Read Solution (Total 14)
-
- In 1999, no. of students = 1000
In 2000, %increase = 20%
=> 1000*120/100 =1200
In 2001, 1200*120/100 = 1440
In 2002, % decrease = 5%
=> 1440*95/100 = 1368
Ans : (2) 1368 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(51) No(0)
- Ans should be 1368 because
1000*20/100= 200
1000+200=1200
now
20% of 1200 will be 240
1200+240=1440
again 5% of the total will be decreased that is 1440*5/100=72
1440-72=1368 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(0)
- 1000*(1+0.20)*(1+0.20)*(1-0.05)=1368

- in 1999-->1000
in 2000-->1000*20/100-->200+1000=1200
in 2001-->1200*20/100-->240+1200=1440
in 2002-->1440*5/100=72-->1440-72=1368
ans is 1368 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- ans: 1368
1000*(120/100)*(120/100)*(95/100)=1368 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- year1999=1000
year2000=1000*20/100 increase
=200
=1000+200
=1200
year 2001=1200*20/100 increase
=240
=1200+240
=1440
year2002=1440*5/100 decrease
=72

1440-72--> 1368 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- In 1999 no. of students=1000,In 2000 no. of students=1000+20% of 1000=1200,In 2001 no. of students=1200+20% of 1200=1440,In 2002 no. of students=1440-5% of 1440=1368.

- 1999 yr = 1000
2000 yr = 1000+20/100*1000=1200
2001 yr = 1200+20/100*1200=1440
2002 yr = 1440-5/100*1440=1368 ---------decrease
